庆祝2023年“自由日”:与NHD马萨诸塞州的虚拟六月节展览
六月节 (short for “June Nineteenth”) celebrates the date in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, 德克萨斯控制了这个州, 根据1863年的解放奴隶宣言, 德州所有被奴役的人都是自由的. 从那时起, 六月节 celebrations have honored our country’s second independence day and recognized the ongoing fight for human rights and equality.
尽管非裔美国人社区一直在庆祝这一节日, 六月节是历史的一部分，大部分仍不为广大公众所知. In 2020, 6月16日被宣布为马萨诸塞州的法定假日, 第二年，这一天被定为联邦假日.
The Massachusetts Historical Society began an annual NHD Massachusetts 六月节 exhibition in 2020 with three goals: to promote an understanding of and engagement with the 六月节 holiday; to highlight select NHD student projects whose work explores topics related to African American history, 文化, 成就, and freedom; and to spread awareness of these often marginalized historical narratives. 今年的NHD项目以“ 《历史的前沿:人、地、思想."
The Massachusetts Historical Society invites you to explore this original and extraordinary student work from the 2023 NHD Massachusetts competition season.
2023年马萨诸塞州国家历史日
请注意:我们被允许使用一些学生的全名, 而另一些人只知道他们的名字.
One of the most valuable aspects of NHD is that students have the opportunity to interpret evidence and draw their own conclusions. 因此, the interpretations and opinions expressed in these projects are the work of the students and are not necessarily shared by the Massachusetts Historical Society.

轰炸下的B-Beats:嘻哈的分裂和前沿Devin王
贝德福德高中
"There has never been an artform with such an intense reverence for its predecessors along with a deep drive for radical change and immediacy, 随着嘻哈. 既出于尊重，也出于需要, the young men and women who molded the genre molded it in the shape of the music of their parents and community elders. This in turn made a medium that served as a great unifying culmination of black music and its messaging. 然而, as the genre left its time worn Bronx basements and clubs and make its way into the rest of the United States, 它开始断裂. The unity it once possessed in the hands of the New York born Jamaican diaspora was replaced with regional and stylistic sectarianism, 最大的压力来自于公司对他们公司的脱衣舞艺术家的巨大压力. This decades-long process of struggle left the genre exceptionally diverse but at the cost of its ability to direct change through organized and consistent messaging."
